Schools today want to dumb down students, not increase their intelligence. Look at some mandates that have been put in place these last few years: no more tests because too many can’t pass them, or anybody can get into any public university without any prescreening/testing. In the future you will have surgeons that can’t read or write because it’s mandatory you hire from all pools.
The plus I see from students getting paid in high school is the kid doesn’t have to cut his daily sports training short (if this is what they want to do later in life) to cut grass to make a couple dollars.
